speakers for listener with Tinnitus


What speakers would you recommend that soften the highs etc., that might lessen the symptoms of Tinnitus?

"Now although the 1.6s have more treble energy than the Kestrels, the treble is so clean it doesn't seem to irritate my tinnitus."

What do you mean by that? Can you give an example of what happens when you irritate your tinnitus? For me, a little background noise helps. It "covers it up" enough to where I'm not too distracted to it.

When I listen to high frequency audio with noise or distortion it aggravates my tinnitus. A couple examples include, talking on a cell phone or watching tv with the volume too loud. I now only use my cell phone on speaker so I don't have it pressed to my ear. Not sure why, but the cell phone really bothers my ears.
The thing about the Thiel's metal tweeter is it is very clean, no distortion. My ear seems to be extremely sensitive too this noise.
I was at Mass one evening and the hand bell choir showed up. My tinnitus was extreme during there performance. I'm assuming the answers in this thread could help in choosing a speaker that might suit my needs.
not sure if there is a speaker that helps, but i find when i have too much caffiene, i have a worse time with ringing. i did have Klipschorns and other horn speakers that would fatigue me more than my current setup but not sure if it was the tinnitus or just the speakers
